As I thought. Your problem is with your synchronization software, not
Outlook. Outlook cannot vary its format because it must present a consistent
interface to the myriad programs that would attempt to synch with it.

When I bluetooth the phone numbers to my cell phone the "(" and ")" and
"-"
are unwanted and cause problems. Why can't I decide for myself how I want
my
phone numbers formatted.

You can't. Masking of phone numbers is hard coded. I've never encountered
a
need to change the format. What makes you think you need to?

How do I change the way phone numbers are formatted in contacts?
